Boonville, CA (March 1st, 2016) On the heels of its
highly acclaimed gose series of beers, Anderson Valley Brewing Company
announced today its latest release: Briney Melon Gose. Available in
draft and twelve-ounce cans and bottles, the Northern California brewery
will begin shipping Briney Melon to its distributors worldwide
beginning in early March.

With the success of The Kimmie, The Yink, and The Holy Gose and the
subsequent Blood Orange Gose, the brewers at Anderson Valley set out to
find new flavors that would complement its original recipe. “We are
constantly looking for new ways to be innovative,” said owner Trey
White. “Whether it’s creating new recipes or putting a twist on classic
styles, our brewers like to push the envelope on conventional brewing.”
Briney Melon Gose boasts a thirst-quenching tartness with subtle
watermelon flavors and aromas that create a harmony with the additions
of sea salt. It has a dry, refreshing finish without being overly
sweet.

While historical gose brewing methods relied on salted water,
coriander, and spontaneous fermentation, Anderson Valley actually adds
lactobacillus bacteria to the wort, a process known as kettle souring.
“After the wort rests overnight, it’s then boiled to kill off any
remaining bacteria while retaining the acidity we desire” White said.
“It allows us to brew on a larger scale without the need for a separate
brew house or production line.”
